Description
Heralded as Cape Cod's oldest golf course, perhaps
its most scenic, the Highland Links in North Truro
is one of America's golf treasures, perched high
along windswept bluffs overlooking the Atlantic
next to the vintage Cape Cod Light. Founded in 1892,
Highland recently celebrated a hundred years of
golf. More than significant than its age is Highland's
heritage; circumstances keep it a genuine links,
as close to the Scottish tradition found anywhere
in the eastern United States, with deep natural
rough, Scotch broom, heath, non irrigated open fairways,
and spectacular ocean views.
The original "Highland
House Golf Links" was
part of an ocean hotel and cottage resort operated
for year by the Small family of Truro, who promoted
the course as "2000 yards around...in attractiveness
not equaled in the New England coast." Francis
Ouimet, the legendary U.S. amateur, played an exhibition
round here after its original sand greens were converted
to grass.
